Bathroom Remodel Starts Tomorrow

After 16 years of living with this old Parkfairfax bathroom (built in the 40s), I am finally remodeling. I have done little things to the bathroom like replace the light, paint, try to paint the tub, and replace the toilet and medicine cabinet. Everything else is original. Oh, except the shower converter, they installed that in 1970 when they converted these units from apartments to condos.

Here are the before pictures. You'll notice the wall with the window has the tile removed. I'm trying to save some tile for my neighbors who haven't remodeled and can't buy this tile anymore.

I'm keeping the toilet, sink and medicine cabinet. The sink is in great condition so there is no point in getting a new one. The toilet and medicine cabinet are new, so they stay. I have a plan to dress up the medicine cabinet. 

My bathroom is tiny, when you open the door it takes up half of the bathroom. It drives me nuts, so I'm getting rid of the door and putting in a door that will attach to the outside wall with barn door track. It's a normal door, not a barn door.

Goodbye, old bathroom. You have served me well. I'm impressed that you lasted over 70 years. That's quite an accomplishment.
